A few of the guidelines set forth for the student membership are voting rights, student alternate, and SGA authorizes the selection of students. The Faculty-Senate, headed by Dr. Charles Price, set up a Committee on Committees to study the possibility of having student membership to the academic committees of the Senate at East Carolina. The committee reported that student membership on academic committees is an issue that is currently being considered by many universities across the nation A questionnaire was sent to 85 institutions of higher learning in order to determine their policies regarding student membership on academic committees. The results from the returned questionnaires showed that over three-fourths of the institutions had a policy that provided for student membership on some academic committee. Also, an open hearing was conducted to sample the local feeling of student membership. Two vacancies are available on each of the following committees: Curriculum, Library, Teacher Education and Career. The remaining committees have one vacancy: Calendar, Admission, Credits, Continuing Education, Student Guidance, Vocational Education, Student Recruitment, ?nd Student Scholarship, Fellowship, and Financial Aid. John Schofield, SGA President for next year, said, "Since the Faculty-Senate initiated the idea of student representation on academic committees speaks well for the academic climate here. The great degree the administration works together instead of working apart is indicative of such an atmosphere The President of the SGA will appoint the students to serve on the committees and then submit their names to the SGA Legislature for approval. the east Carolinian "Lei us dare to read, think, speak, and write Vol. 44 No. 26 East Carolina University Greenville, N.

The committee ruled that the motion was an unconstitution?! grant of power and was ex post facto. Since the motion received an unfavorable report, it was killed in the rules committee.

As everyone readily realizes, without an efficient Student Government Association, the wheels of Pitt County could not turn. There are many times in the life of a college student when reality seems absurd. I believe that this time in my life is now in passing. It is assumed by "people in power" that when young men and women enter college they are not only able to think for to discriminate between the good and bad. While looking over most of the action both physical and metaphysical that has been going on at this University, I find myself amazed. It seems that every day either someone has something so profound to say or someone has blossoming ideas that couldn't possibly be real: ATTENTION STUDENTS, THIS IS NOT AN IVY LEAGUE COLLEGE. There are many of the major universities in the United States on the quarter system. It seems that East Carolina University has a misconception of this entire idea.

Here in Greenville, there is an amazing lack of academic participation duung the summer. This is probably due to a traditional ethnocentric ideal of having to take a vacation during the summer months.

There are certainly many highly qualified people within this organization, and I certainly hope that the Student Government maintains this high standard by requiring anyone working in any position to have a minimum grade point average of 2.0. During the summer, I have had the full cooperation of both the administration and the staff, and I am sure that this type of peaceful co existance is necessary.

Robert K. Adamf HUEY'S fSTAURANT JEW BERN IIGHWAY August 13, 1969 Summer where's The East Carolinian Page 3 asks fall?' Chrysalis By JAMIE HILDEBRANDT Summer school here at East Caroiina must be one of the most exciting times ever experienced. With summer here the days are longer giving us all more time to do absolutely nothing. The morning starts with the ringing of the alarm telling us that we have about one hour before class. Classes are not at all that bad, for they break the continuous boredom that reigns over this campus in the summer. If one is lucky he has all his classes in a row so that he does not have an hour to do nothing with. If you are not one of the lucky ones there is always the CU where one can watch all the others who are in the same predicament of having an hour to play with. Now on extra special days one may have the treat of observing the orientation groups. This is always good for wasting an hour and sometimes more. The problem now arises as to what to do when your classes are through. This is the perfect time to go home and get all that homework finished so the night will be free. However, if you are like the majority you will return to the CU, go downtown, or home to go to sleep, hoping you don't wake up before the sun By LARRY MULVIHILL basset. A weekend frolic in a Night is here! At night one neighborhood swimming hole may go to a number of places. nas relegated me to several Lum's is always fun because the weeks of penicillin a la ear Championship Foosball Game is infection. Anywhere else a little at almost any hour of the night water in the ear wouldn't cause and even into the wee hours of too much trouble; however in the morning. Another set will venture downtown to the Rat, Fiddlers or the Buccaneer or maybe to all three. These are good ways to waste away the dark hours, but unfortunately they cost money. A good and cheap evening can be begun by going to the "free flick but they aren't on every night, unfortunately. Many girls on this campus live in the dorm. For those who just go to the Buc or to Lum's the idea of returning to the dorm at the curfew isn't quite so bad, at least you will have someplace to go. Now for those who have a definite place to go and with a definite person the curfew can really be a hassle, but that can be taken care of by just not signing out but just hope there is no room check. So the evening is over one way or the other and it is time to sleep or study or maybe just rap. Then once again the tides turn and it is near the dawn and once again the alarm echos and the bright new day begins again, and again, and again Songfest wins student favor By VALERIE HODGES Local student talent performed Monday night at the Folk Fest sponsored by the Union Committee. Candlelight and smoke filled the room while the audience was entertained by a wide range of styles. The majority of the performers were soloists accompanying themselves on guitars. The songs varied from original compositions to Donavon instumentals like "Tangerine Public "Rompin' Rovin' Days "Song for Sally "Reason to Believe" and "Cocaine Blues" turned the audience on. Woody Thurman's group offered such favorites as "This Train "Salty Dog" and "Lighthouse Blues" strictly Blue Grass style. Another group, aptly named the Pattern of Change, produced a strange sound using a combination of piano, recorder and female vocalist. The only duet that performed Monday night turned into a comedy act. Their harmony was strong but discordant. the words were The evening really started swinging at 9:30 p.m. with the music of Dick Webb, better known as Spider. His set began with "Custard Pie an original entitled "Ninety-Nine Miles an Hour" and ended with a harmonica selection. The entire evening was rated as "great" and "enjoyable" by those who attended. Spirits were slightly dampened, however, by the presence of one of the Campus Police seated in the back of the room. Perhaps he simply enjoys folk music. Greenville, any standing body of water is a breeding place for mosquitoes and the even more fearsome Greenville Goo (alias the Greenville Grunge, The Crud, The Calloping Fungi, Torpid Rot, Feasers Revenge and Bushwangers Delight.) GEE MOM The last orientation class on campus, as all the ones before, have produced se.eral humorous encounters as incoming freshmen encountered the upperclassmen for the first time. I stumbled across two male freshmen as they wandered through downtown Greenville. They asked me if I could direct them to Hardees. I told them, but I couldn't resist asking them why they wanted to go there. It seems that some fun loving upperclassman had told them that Hardees was the place to pick up college girls. The last I saw of these two disoriented freshmen, they were heading in a southeasterly direction at a great rate of speed looking for the earthly domain of the heavenly ECU coed. HOLD THE MAYO Eight o'clock in the mornings are not the most stimulating time of the day, and when one has an eight class then the dreariness is doubled. It is a good day indeed when someone can ado a little humor to the start of iie week.

Evans St. I I I : � �3 i 3 Liberals fail to convince Congress This week's Senate approval of the controversial ABM system is a perfect indicator of the failure of America's "peaceniks" to halt the raging monster of American militarism. Liberals are prolific letter-writers. They find ideological companionship among the news media, especially the electronic media. For most of this decade, they have been successful in their attempts to influence policy - except in exerting pressure on the Congress and the Pentagon in defense matters. Congress continues to write a blank check for military expenditure. And the euphemism used to defend the ABM is applicable here: "It is better to err on the side of sefety The United States, is of course, a "status quo" nation in every regard. This tradition is probably the most reasonable explanation; it is the governor of Congress. It is not unreasonable for the layman to expect agreement among experts on the ABM question. After all, the recent successes of technology have lulled us into a euphoric state of blind faith. Considering the pressure the military-industrial complex (it is indeed a "complex") wielded in this instance, it is a wonder the vote - or the division on ABM's feasibility - was even close. Dialectic reasoning proffers a reaction of the Congress against the headache-makers - the frustrated, ever-pushing liberal citizens. Opponents of the military mentality must react against the reactionaires. Keep those cards and letters coming. Kennedy dilemma vexes Democrats SMcL Adminstration The summer is about to come to an end and with it the administration of Bob "Mad-dog" Adams. What has the Adams' presidency meant to the school? Adams' term of office could best be termed tranquil. There have been no major developments and no major crises. The character and composition of summer school are as much to blame for this as anything. To ask someone as intelligent and as dynamic as Adams to be president of summer school is like having asked General Rommel to command garrison forces in Dusseldorf and expecting him to win brillant battles. With the lack of time for planning and implementation, it is incredible that Adams was able to accomplish anything in the line of semi-permanent changes on campus. Getting the Soda Shop open at 7:30 must be regarded as amajor feat. With the lack of time for planning anc implementation, it is incredible that Adams was able to accomplish anything in the line of semi-permanent changes on campus. Getting the Soda Shop open at 7:30 must be regarded as amajor feat. The very nature of a three-month term of office is enough to make anybody who takes office a caretaker, just marking time until the fi t team returns to take over. Constitution vote crucial The "East Carolinian" is hesitant to say anymore about the importance of repealing the summer school SGA constitution, but we feel that this is the major forward-looking proposal to be proposed this year. We are happy that both Bob Adams, summer SGA president, and Wayne Eads, speaker of the summer Legislature, have gone on record as being in favor of this proposal. The "East Carolinian" would like to say now that it is your duty to vote and we hope to see you at the polls. By SONNY McLAWHORN How does Ted Kennedy's personal dilemma affect the future of the Democratic Party? This question is on the minds of many political speculators. Some of the party professionals have already written Kennedy off as a potential presidential candidate. The Kennedy admirers, however, hope for the senator's entry in the 1972 race, despite disclaimers on his part. Certainly Ed Muskie is already a strong contender for the next nomination. Muskie, although widely respected in Washington for several years, did not become a national figure until his selection as Hubert Humphrey's running mate in 1968. MUSKIE'S STYLE Muskie has a charisma which is difficult to resist. He shuns power in its most primitive form, a refreshing change from President Johnson's style. Like Kennedy, he has earned the respect of his colleagues in the Senate. Humphrey's choice of Muskie as running mate was considered by many to be the former vice president's finest hour of the campaign. Although Muskie's stance on national issues is predominately liberal, he would probably outshine Kennedy or any other major contender in the southern region of the United States. Muskie's visceral style and his Lincolnesque image would indeed serve him well throughout the nation - even among some former Wallace supporters, who felt that the former Alabama governor was the only candidate who expressed his own personal convictions. WILL HUMPHREY RUN? Humphrey's last-minute surge in the 1968 campaign has earned him serious consideration as a candidate in 1972. Eugene McCarthy's announcement that he would not seek his Minnesota senate seat in 1970 grants Humphrey a potential power base from which to seek the presidency. After four years of Nixon, Humphrey Democrats think the nation will have forgotten its vendetta against Johnson - and with it, much of the dislike for Humphrey. It is true that Humphrey's eloquence earned him the dubious honor of speaking up for the war in Vietnam. If he were to seek the nomination again, he could certainly assume another vantage point. The mysterious Senator McCarthy appears to have given up the ghost. His refusal to seek power in the party (considered by many of his supporters to be a virtue) is certainly a death-blow in the presence of a Kennedy or Muskie. McCarthy's most enthusiastic followers will undoubtedly attempt to build a base of power for their leader. But it is doubtful that the dissidents have yet learned that much about precinct and county organization. At any rate, the entrenchment of party "pros" is invincible conditions. under Present A DARKHORSE? Insiders feel party chairman Fred Harris has ambitions for the presidency. The Oklahoma senator took the reigns of a battleweary Democratic Party in February and has done a creditable job of spearheading ,ts reconstruction. Hams is young and he is vigorous. Since the midwest and the southwest, with the exception of Tev�, have failed to deliver Democratic votes during the past 20 years, Harris might be a logical choice for running mate on any ticket. North Carolina's Terry Sanford continues to command the respect of national Democrats. He was a leading contender for the vice presidential spot on the Humphrey, but unlike Harris, who vigorously campaigned for party chairmanship, Sanford has not openly sought any political office since 'eaving the Governor's Mansion in 1964 Sanford supporters are still very much alive throughout the state, and his consideration of a return to his old position or a chance at a senate seat might preclude any prospect of his accepting a vice presidential nomination. For the time being, Democrats are resigned to a wait-and -see attitude Undoubtedly, Richard Nixon's success in ending the war in Southeast Asia will be the major determinant of the opposition party's future. ecu forum Dear Editor: Why should ECU students give two caws and a tweet-tweet about a bunch of bird-watchers trying to keep an island near Wilmington from faJiiru, t0 the tender mercies of a land developer?
